Thats a bummer. I was stranded in Sudbury with my snowmobile, thankfully staying at a friend's place, secondary roads still not plowed, 2ft on the roadway. Hwy 69 was closed from Suds to Parry Sound.

So much for that plan! Got to North Bay yesterday afternoon and hwy was closed, as was every other north-south highway north of hwy 17. Truckers waiting in northbound line-up were told that the highway would open by 2 or 3 in the AM. So we got a room in NB. 7:30 this AM, the highway was still closed. For some reason, instead of finding out the ET for road opening, we decided to drive home, where I am now. Road opened at roughly 9:30 AM, with a long, staged snowplow, OPP vehicle and transport line-up. Ironic thing is that we postponed going last week because of the early-week warm temps. I am sure that next week will be good in the far north, but not sure I will make it.
I am keeping a close eye on things up there. Guys are posting that they have been storm stayed in hotels for the last 2 days and there is 2 ft of snow on the trail. Looks like the groomers are getting out. Hopefully they can get a handle on things by the weekend.
I called the Amosphere and they now had rooms for Friday night so just out of nostalgia I cancelled my rooms at the Frontier and booked at the Amosphere. I am taking my dad and I think he will like it better being able to pull up to the door of the room.
